The objective of this article is to evaluate the results of the excavation at the site of Al-Khidr on Failaka Island that was probably a port or a fishermen’s settlement in the past. A very large number of stone architectural remains and artifacts have been discovered there. Al-Khidr is a typical Dilmun culture site and the settlement was probably contemporary with the known sites F3 and F6 located on the south-west coast of the island. Based on the pottery that has been processed, we preliminarily dated the site to a period between the beginning of the second millenium and approximately 1500 BC, although older settlement may have occurred, beginning at the end of the third millennium.

青铜时代法拉卡岛上的 Al-Khidr 遗址：陶器视角

本文的目的是评估法拉卡岛上 Al-Khidr 遗址的挖掘结果，该遗址可能是过去的港口或渔民聚居地。在那里发现了大量的石头建筑遗迹和文物。Al-Khidr 是典型的迪尔蒙文化遗址，该定居点可能与位于该岛西南海岸的已知遗址 F3 和 F6 是同时代的。根据已加工的陶器，我们初步确定该遗址的年代为第二个千年之初至公元前 1500 年左右，尽管可能已经发生了较早的定居点，从第三个千年末开始。
